A series of discussions between MyDiplomacy Founders Zaim Mohzani and Syed Nizamuddin Sayed Kassim in 2018 led to astute observations of the diplomacy ecosystem in Malaysia: aspiring diplomats have little avenue for engagement with working diplomats, and youth representation was by far and large none-existent in the international relations scene in Malaysia. Broadly speaking, there was a great gap between youth and policy-makers in foreign policy.

They set out to establish a youth organisation to change that notion and Malaysian Youth Diplomacy (MyDiplomacy) was born. Since 2018, MyDiplomacy has successfully encouraged Malaysian youth to delve into the field of diplomacy by providing avenues to converse with foreign and local diplomats and international organisations through various means. Today, we have a membership base of nearly 600 students, entrepreneurs, professionals and aspiring diplomats.​​

MyDiplomacy seeks to advance youth-led diplomacy in Malaysia whilst aligning with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to build a network of informed global citizens. Join us today!

Platform for Discourse

Young Malaysians lack a youth-friendly platform to discuss and understand foreign policy issues such as trade, security and human rights.

Youth Input in Foreign Policy

Youth in diplomacy do not have a systematic avenue to engage policy-makers diplomats to provide feedback and contribute to policy.
